It is the summer of 2003, a small, uncharted island off the coast of Canada has just been purchased from the Canadian government by an unknown party. The island, which had been used by the government for undisclosed military experiments, had been closed down during the 80's. With its new purchase, the activity at the island doesn't pick up at all. It seems as if nobody is using it.

The Anti-Umbrella group run by Chris Redfield and Jill Valentine works hard to fight against suspected viral activities, even after Umbrella's closure. Traces of the T-virus (among its many variants) still surface in other places, secrets sold to other pharmaceutical companies eager to pick up where the massive, now infamous corporation left off.

At their homes, each person still alive who was involved in the 1997 T-virus outbreak, Umbrella, or anything related receives a small white envelope in the mail. The envelope is not postage stamped, nor does it have a return address. The only thing written on it is the name for who it is intended.

Inside, there is a small card and a one-page letter. The card simply reads:

"You're invited to Peregova Island."

The letter differs slightly for each of the recipients, and while it is not signed, it is clearly handwritten in a dark, swooping cursive, detailing the island's coordinates -- and the answers it promises to have.

R U L E S

[+] I apologize for some recent confusion, but this RP is INVITE ONLY.

[+] Characters must stay active. The current minimum is every two weeks. This means that you must be posting in your journal, commenting in others journals, or somehow interacting within the scope of the RP.

[+]NO GODMODING. This is very easy to do in the scope of a Resident Evil RP. Please remember that your character is vulnerable and has weaknesses -- all of them, even the ones with viral powers. If I see any abuse of power or anyone refusing to let their character "take a hit", there will be serious consequences. Most these characters are humans, and you've all seen how easy it is to get hit in the games.

[+] Please keep OOC issues out of character. There will be bickering between characters within the RP, but that does not mean the player is personally attacking you. If you feel otherwise, please approach a mod.

[+] The posting of logs can be done whenever you wish; there's no rule that states you have to post them within a certain time period. That having been said, please feel free to work your own plots. Move your character about the board freely, and never hesitate to comment in others’ journals. Just keep moving. Don’t stagnate! The things that must be run by mods are huge plots that affect multiple characters or the overall integrity of the RP Premise. Feel free to come up with ideas of this nature, but never execute them without mod approval. We’re always open to new ideas, so please, feel free to contact us with your ideas!

[+] Please keep your characters true to character! If we feel you are not doing so, we'll tell you.

[+] This rp is het, slash, and femslash friendly. HOWEVER. Due to issues we've discovered in other rps, you should try to be aware of what other players like.</font> IF IN DOUBT, ASK.

[+] Please let us know if you're going on hiatus. Also make a note of it in the OOC community so everyone can be aware.

[+] Proper spelling and grammar are required in logs. Please proofread. Please use a spell check. Please. Please. Please. Personal journals are another affair. Make your spelling and grammar reflect the character. Don’t make a young child with a lower intellect use the same language as a scholar. This relates back to keeping your characters in character and using common sense.

[+] If you have any issues, feel free to contact the mods with questions/concerns/suggestions.
